The reorganized Xuanwu Guards were originally a bunch of kids.
They were a group of people who had not been beaten up by society and were full of vigor.
As for Old Han Zhao and a few other centurions, they were now only used as military advisors and occasionally consulted about the rules of the army.
When this group of new recruits heard that the chief officer was so unyielding, each and every one of them was so excited that their little faces turned red.
Who cares if you are the son of a prince or some random cat or dog?
Even if the one who caused trouble was the imperial grandson, they would still tie him up!
Zhu Gaosui was quickly defeated by the dozen or so people and allowed them to tie him up with ropes.
However, his mouth was still very smelly, and he kept clamoring at Qin Mu!
"You!"
"Do you know that you're in big trouble?”
"When my father comes, I'll hang all of you up and let you bleed!”
"F * ck!"
"This kid is really arrogant!"
When Qin Mu saw Zhu Gaosui being hung up, he immediately picked up the horsewhip on the ground and whipped him.
Initially, Zhu Gaosui was quite unyielding, but after being whipped a few times, he immediately cried and begged for mercy.
"I was wrong. Don't hit me anymore, sob…"
This made Zhu Rong, who was watching the show, feel a headache coming on.
Even though Zhu Gaosui was too arrogant, you, the commander of the guards, actually dared to beat up a dragon's son and grandson. Don't you know how to write the word 'death'?
Even if you have the Jinyiwei's background, you can't be so arrogant, right?
Even the Commander of the Brocade Guard, Jiang Meng, did not have the guts to whip the Prince's son!
Although Zhu Rong was cursing in his heart, he did not want to meddle in this matter.
Because of his relationship with Zhu Biao, he was considered a hardcore member of the Prince's faction and naturally did not get along with the King of Yan's faction.
The title of Crown Prince had long been decided. Every vassal king of Ming Dynasty was just waiting for death. It was fine as long as they guarded their own land.
You, the King of Yan, can't stand loneliness. You send troops to the frontier to win a battle. Who are you fighting for?
You're the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who can do it?
Are all the other vassal kings useless?
Tsk!
Zhu Rong didn't have much ambition in this life. He was just a stable vassal king and wouldn't be bullied.
However, it did not mean that he was stupid. General Blue Jade could see through the King of Yan's intentions, and as his third brother, he could naturally see through them.
However, just as Zhu Xiong was about to sneak away, Zhu Gaosui, who was hanging from the flagpole, saw his red prince robe.
"Is it Third Uncle?"
"Don't run, nephew saw you!”
"Third Uncle, you have to save me. If you don't save me, I'll be beaten to death by this person. Sob, sob, sob…"
When Zhu Xiong heard this, he didn't stop at all. He covered his face with his sleeves and sped up, directly slipping into his own army formation to hide.
Want him to plead for mercy?
Bah!
No way!
……
The temporary residence of the King of Yan.
The King of Yan was riding on a tall horse and chatting with a monk beside him.
"Master Yao, this military exercise is a little strange!”
"We arrived three days in advance, but Father didn't meet this king even after we asked to see him a few times.”
"Prince Yan, don't be impatient!"
"As far as this penniless monk knows, the other vassal kings have not been received by His Majesty either. They have all been placed in the military camp outside the city.”
"Is there any deeper meaning behind this?"
Yao Guangxiao shook his head.
"Your Majesty's appearance as a celestial is not something that I can speculate on.”
"However, according to this Penniless Monk's guess, His Majesty probably wants to use this military exercise to elevate someone.”
"If this person is the Ming Imperial Family, then the future candidate for the Crown Prince is very likely to be this person!”
Just as the two of them were talking, a soldier carrying a flag on his back rode over on a fast horse.
"Pass on His Majesty's orders!"
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, quickly dismounted and respectfully knelt on the ground to receive the edict.
"All the troops under inspection must follow the Xuanwu Guards and set up mobile latrines.”
After the messenger passed down the order, he left for the next house, leaving the King of Yan stunned on the spot.
"Exalted Master Yao, what is the meaning of this?”
"Xuanwu Guard, when did my Great Ming have such a thing?”
Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but frown.
"This is also the first time this poor monk has heard of it!"
"However, the word 'Black Tortoise' has a deep meaning. Your Highness should be more careful.”
"This Penniless Monk estimates that this person might be here to steal your luck!”
"Uhh…"
The King of Yan was in disbelief.
"How do you know?"
"Your Highness, where is your fief?”
"The north!"
"Almost to the north…"
Zhu Di instantly understood.
"Oh!"
"You mean that the north is the land of the Black Tortoise, and this Black Tortoise Guard is exactly the name of the Black Tortoise!”
Yao Guangxiao lowered his head and chanted the name of Buddha.
"Your Highness is wise. This Penniless Monk has the same intention!”
Zhu Di's gaze was deep as he secretly remembered this Xuanwu Guard.
At this moment, two soldiers ran back in a panic.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince has been kidnapped and hung on a flagpole for public display!”
"What?!"
Zhu Di's expression changed when he heard that.
He had accepted Yao Guangxiao's suggestion to keep a low profile and not steal the limelight.
But if he didn't drop his watch, he could be bullied by anyone!
In addition, he had a bad temper to begin with. Now that he heard his son being humiliated like this, how could he let it go!
"Men, gather everyone. Even if this king charges over, I will kill them all!”
Yao Guangxiao saw Zhu Di's anger and quickly stopped him.
"King Yan, please calm down!"
"We shouldn't make a big fuss about this matter!"
"You can send the prince to ask for him. If he still doesn't come out, you have to report to His Majesty and ask him to uphold justice!”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red.
"Preposterous!"
"When have I, the King of Yan, ever suffered such humiliation!”
"If I trouble Imperial Father with such a small matter, then wouldn't I be trash?”
Yao Guangxiao pulled Zhu Di's sleeve and whispered into his ear.
"Your Highness!"
"A little forbearance will ruin the great plan!"
"Right now, His Majesty the Emperor is holding a knife and looking for an untamed person to operate on. The more cowardly you act now, the safer our King Yan's Residence will be!”
"Uhh…"
When Zhu Di heard this, he suddenly understood.
Even if he personally led his men to kill them, the old master would not punish him.
However, there was still a high chance that they could use this excuse to take away his military power or reduce the number of troops in his fief.
Therefore, after hearing Yao Guangxiao's suggestion, he instantly came to a realization.
"Men, order the prince to negotiate. You must get his brother back!”
Just as the soldiers were about to look for Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di asked again.
"Right!"
"Which vassal king's team kidnapped our son?”
"Your Highness, the other party is not a vassal king, but an ordinary guard!”
"An ordinary guard station?"
"What Wei?"
"Reporting to your highness, it's a newly established guard station. I think it's called Xuanwu Guard!”
"Hiss!"
When Zhu Di heard the words 'Xuanwu Guard', he couldn't help but gasp.
As Master Yao had said, the Xuanwu Guards were really here to steal his luck.
This military exercise hasn't even started yet, and they've already kidnapped our son!
Zhu Yuanzhang stood on top of the city gate and looked at the troops outside the city.
Seeing the orderly appearance of the Great Ming army and the high morale of the soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
"Go, send someone to the Chamberlain of Dependencies and call the envoys of North Korea, Mengyuan, and the other countries over. Let them have a good look at the might of our Great Ming's army, hahaha!”
The annual military exercise of Great Ming was to review the training of the army on one hand, and also to show off the military might of Great Ming to the surrounding small countries so that they would not dare to act rashly.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was overwhelmed with emotions and fantasizing about the invincible Ming Dynasty, his gaze was suddenly attracted by a flagpole.
If it was just a flagpole, it would not be much to look at. However, if there was a person hanging on it, it would be much more interesting.
"Erhu, let me see if that's the Xuanwu Guard.”
"Reporting to the emperor, that is the flag that the Xuanwu Guards shot out!”
"Then why is there a person hanging on the flagpole?”
"You have good eyesight. Can you see who is hanging on the flagpole?”
Xiao Hu narrowed his eyes and said with uncertainty.
"Emperor!"
" I can't see him clearly, but judging from his figure, he seems to be the third son of the Prince of Yan's family…"
"Ah?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded when he heard this.
"What's going on?"
"Why are these two children still quarreling!”
"Hurry up and go take a look. Don't let this matter blow up!”
"Yes, sir!"
"This subordinate will…"
Just as Er Hu was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Forget it. You've shown your face too many times. That kid is as cunning as a ghost. If he sees any clues, we won't be able to lie to him in the future.”
"Go and get your in-law to come forward. Tell him to suppress this matter and not cause any big trouble!”
Er Hu cursed in his heart.
How could he suppress this matter?
Was it to make the King Yan's Residence suffer in silence?
Your Majesty, your mind is too biased!
You have to know that the person hanging on the flagpole is also your biological grandson!
